Chapter 314 - 314: Hard To Resist The Urge To Kiss Her
In the afternoon, Old Professor Yun was wheeled into the operating room.
Outside, Yun Jingshan anxiously awaited news.
The surgery lasted a total of four hours, and for four hours, he was on edge.
Although he had faith in Nan Yan’s medical skills, he still feared the possibility of errors.
Not every surgery ends successfully.
He prayed now, hoping that fate would favor his mother once more and grant her a miracle!
As he stood on legs that had gone numb and lifeless from the long wait, the tightly shut door of the operating room finally swung open.
Nan Yan, dressed in a white coat, slowly emerged from inside.
Yun Jingshan hurriedly approached her, asking, “Dr. Nan, how did my mother’s surgery go?”
“It was very successful,” Nan Yan said, removing her mask. “She needs to rest here for two weeks, and then she can be discharged.”
Her face, after wearing the mask for an extended period, bore two indents, appearing somewhat alarming on her fair skin.
Sweat beads covered her face, even her complexion appeared pale from the exertion.
It had been a long time since she had engaged in such a prolonged and mentally demanding operation, and her brain felt throbbing with pain.
She hadn’t performed surgery on Old Professor Yun.
Her condition was too frail, and she was too old to withstand the physical strain of surgery.
She had used acupuncture techniques.
Her own body was still too weak; she had almost lost her stamina in the final steps, only managing to complete it by gritting her teeth.
Yun Jingshan was overjoyed, nearly jumping for joy, but he managed to contain his excitement.
After the excitement subsided, he noticed something abnormal about Nan Yan and quickly asked, “Dr. Nan, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I just need a little rest,” she replied.
After coming out, Elder Tao noticed that Nan Yan had expended too much energy and promptly had someone prepare a nourishing soup to replenish her qi and blood.
“Yanyan, please go to my office and take a break,” he suggested.
“Okay.”
Elder Tao’s office had a small resting area.
Nan Yan lay on the bed and took out her phone to send a message to Qin Lu, [What time do you get off work?]
She still remembered that Qin Lu wanted her to meet a few people.
Qin Lu quickly replied: [Yanyan, are you done?]
Nan Yan replied: [I’m done. If you’re not in a hurry, I’d like to sleep for a while.
I’m a little mentally exhausted.]
Qin Lu looked at Nan Yan’s message and his heart ached. [Then I’ll pick you up in an hour?]
The little one had a very strong personality. If she was not so tired that she did not want to move at all, she would definitely not say that…
Nan Yan replied: [Okay.]
Qin Lu: [Go rest quickly.]
Nan Yan: [Okay]
After sending this message, Nan Yan placed her phone next to the pillow, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
In the temporary office.
Qin Lu looked at Shen Junqing, who was sitting across from him. He flipped his phone over and placed it on the table. He looked at Shen Junqing indifferently.
“We’ll go with your plan, and I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“There won’t be any other matters bothering me in the future. I’ll handle the early stages of the project, and the later stages will be your responsibility.”
Shen Junqing lazily leaned back, exuding a carefree and casual aura all over his body. His melodious voice uttered two words, “Not happening.”
He sat up a bit straighter, his peach blossom eyes raised slightly. “I don’t like dealing with this stuff. I feel more at ease if you handle it.”
Qin Lu’s expression darkened slightly, and his pitch-black eyes exuded a hint of coldness. “So you just want to be a hands-off boss?”
Shen Junqing propped up his chin, his lips curled in a teasing manner, deliberately testing Qin Lu’s limits. “You can’t say that. The capable do more work. It’s all because our Master Qin is so capable and so competent
Qin Lu:
“Shen Junqing, I’m not here to negotiate with you.”
His tone was strong and sharp. “I’ve laid the foundation for you, and you’ve fully developed the early stages. If there are any mistakes in the later stages, I will hold you responsible.”
Shen Junqing’s nonchalant expression suddenly became more serious. “Alright,
I’ll handle it.”
“Considering you’ve helped me in the past few days, I’ll do the grunt work for you this time and give you the time to pursue Nan Yan.”
Although Shen Junqing found Qin Lu extremely unpleasant, he couldn’t deny that Qin Lu’s feelings for Nan Yan were genuine and not tainted by ulterior motives.
Both he and Qin Lu were similar in this regard, not using their emotions as bargaining chips for personal gain unless they were genuinely moved and fell in love.
Qin Lu liked Nan Yan.
And Nan Yan wasn’t entirely unresponsive to him.
He was just a step too late, so he could only choose to silently conceal his feelings.
At least this way, he and Nan Yan could still be like siblings.
If he were to express his feelings, he was afraid he might lose the right to stay by her side…
Qin Lu unexpectedly looked at Shen Junqing.
But he found that Shen Junqing’s expression was unusually serious.
Shen Junqing said, “Treat her well.”
“If I find out you’re mistreating her, I’ll snatch her away.”
There was no hint of joking in his tone.
Qin Lu countered, “You won’t have that chance.”
“You’d better change your target sooner. Your secret crush will ultimately come to nothing.”
“None of your business,” Shen Junqing retorted, annoyed. “I’m content with secretly admiring her. It’s none of your damn business.”
“I’ll keep an eye on you. If you mistreat her, I won’t give you a second chance to hurt her. I’ll take her far away with me.”
Qin Lu said each word deliberately, “I’ve said it before, you won’t have that chance.”
“Hmph. ”
Shen Junqing glared at him fiercely, collected the documents on his desk, and left without looking back.
It’s not like he lost to him.
He just couldn’t bear to make things difficult for Nan Yan…
Having unexpectedly resolved a hidden rival and delegated his remaining work to Shen Junqing, keeping him too busy to bother Nan Yan, Qin Lu was in a good mood.
He left the remaining tasks to Wu Yue and drove to the First Hospital to pick up
Nan Yan.
When Elder Tao saw Qin Lu arrive, he said, “Yanyan is still sleeping. Should I wake her up for you?”
Qin Lu replied, “No need. I’ll go see her. I won’t wake her up.”
“Oh, then go ahead. I won’t disturb your quality time as a couple. I’ll go check on the ward.’
Elder Tao had a loving expression and even patted Qin Lu’s shoulder as he passed by him. “Young man, you must treat Yanyan well, you hear!”
Qin Lu said, “… Rest assured.”
If he didn’t treat his girlfriend well, who else would he treat well…
“Go ahead, I’ll leave first.’
Elder Tao nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the office.
After walking out, he didn’t forget to close the door behind him.
Qin Lu raised his hand to rub his forehead and let out a helpless chuckle.
Gently pushing the door open, he saw the peacefully sleeping girl on the bed. He tiptoed to her side.
Bending down, he gazed at Nan Yan’s serene sleeping face, his eyes filled with a faint affection.
When the little one was sleeping, she was just too obedient and cute, making it hard for one to resist the urge to kiss her!
He restrained his thoughts and lightly caressed her cheek with his fingertips. “Little one, you must be exhausted….”
